Deflection Analysis of Non Prismatic Beam with Trapezoidal Sectorial Section with Uniformly Perpendicular Loading Condition

Article Preview

Abstract:

Non-prismatic beams are extensively used for many engineering application. Due to varying section, deflection analysis becomes very complex. Loading condition also makes the whole theory complex. This paper shows analytical analysis for the deflection of trapezoidal sectorial section with uniformly perpendicular loading condition. The method illustrated is comparatively easy and can be applied for the similar other sections as well. Analytical method is validated using Finite Element Analysis using Creo Simulation which shows good amount of match with analytical result.
